If you phone has been fine for a year and this is the only single anomaly then you need to just move on and enjoy your phone. Try not to turn this into an "episode" as in your past posts. Just enjoy your phone.

I chuckled a bit. Then I read some of the other OP's posts and there is some truth to that.

But I f the op can recreate the problem and it truly is a problem for him, go to an Apple Store. Most likely they wipe erase and restore the device first so make sure you back it up before you go.

Nothing I said discounts people having different experiences. It can certainly still be odd at least to me compared to my experience, if not even in a more general sense of most aren't having those types of issues.

Auto-brightness has never worked right, on any iPhone I've had. I always give it a couple months, and always end up turning it off in frustration.

Tune it then.

1. turn off auto-brightness
2. go to a dark room
3. slide the brightness all the way to the left (darkest)
4. Turn auto-brightness on.
5. Wait a few seconds and then leave the room. Brightness should go up by itself.

Enter a very dark room and open "Setup" and Display & Brightness." Make shure "Auto brighntess" ist turned off. Set the brightness to minimal. Activate "Auto brightness" and immediatly turn it off again.
Now bring your phone to a very bright place (bright sun light is best or a very bright lamp). Hold the brightness sensor (it is on top near the telephone speaker for the ears) directly to the lamp. Move the display brightness to maximum and activate "Auto brightnes" again.

That's it you're all done! Now the auto brightness should work correctly. Hope this helps!
